For example, service providers may help us: (i) with fraud prevention, and risk assessment, (ii) perform product development, maintenance, and debugging, and (iii) allow the provision of the BLANKOYNEGROENT Services through third-party platforms and software tools (e.g. through the integration with our APIs), or (iv) provide customer service, advertising, or payments services. These providers have limited access to your information to perform these tasks on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect and to use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed and consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Our main subprocessors are Google Cloud Platform, Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), Amazon Web Services, HubSpot, and Cloudflare.

BLANKOYNEGROENT will need to share your information, including personal information, in order to ensure the adequate performance of our contract with you.

3.4 CORPORATE AFFILIATES.

To enable or support us in providing the BLANKOYNEGROENT Platform, we may share your information, including personal information, within our corporate family of companies that are related by common ownership or control, including BLANKOYNEGROENT dba BYNENT, Inc.

4.0 OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

4.1 ANALYZING YOUR COMMUNICATIONS.

We may use technologies considered automated decision-making or profiling. We will not make automated decisions about you that would significantly affect you unless such a decision is necessary as part of a contract we have with you, we have your consent, or we are required by law to use such technology.

We may review, scan, or analyze your communications on the BLANKOYNEGROENT Platform for fraud prevention, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, investigation, product development, research, and customer support purposes.

For example, as part of our fraud prevention efforts, we scan and analyze messages to mask contact information and references to other websites.

In some cases, we may also scan, review, or analyze messages to debug, improve, and expand product offerings. We use automated methods where reasonably possible. However, occasionally we may need to manually review some communications, such as for fraud investigations and customer support, or to assess and improve the functionality of these automated tools.

We will not review, scan, or analyze your communications to send third-party marketing messages to you, and we will not sell reviews or analyses of these communications.

These activities are carried out based on BLANKOYNEGROENT’s legitimate interest in ensuring compliance with applicable laws and our Terms of Service, preventing fraud, promoting safety, and improving and ensuring the adequate performance of our services.

4.2 LINKING THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS.

You may link your BLANKOYNEGROENT Account with your account at a third-party social networking service. When you create this link, the information you provide to us from the linking of your accounts may be stored, processed, and transmitted for fraud prevention and risk assessment purposes; and the publication and display of information that you provide to BLANKOYNEGROENT through this linkage are subject to your settings and authorizations on the BLANKOYNEGROENT Platform and the third-party site.

These Third-Party Partners will have their own rules about the collection, use, and disclosure of information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of the other websites you visit.

You may also be entitled to request copies of personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and/or request us to transmit this information to another service provider (where technically feasible).

6.5 DATA RETENTION AND ERASURE, ANONYMIZATION, OR BLOCKING.

We generally retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us and to comply with our legal obligations. If you no longer want us to use your information to provide the BLANKOYNEGROENT Platform to you, you can request that we erase your personal information and close your BLANKOYNEGROENT Account. You may also request the deletion, anonymization, or blocking of your personal information when processing is based on your consent or when processing is unnecessary, excessive, or non-compliant. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:

  • We may retain some of your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud detection and prevention and enhancing safety. For example, if we suspend a BLANKOYNEGROENT Account for fraud or safety reasons, we may retain certain information from that BLANKOYNEGROENT Account to prevent that User from opening a new BLANKOYNEGROENT Account in the future.
  • We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, BLANKOYNEGROENT may keep some of your information for tax, legal reporting, and auditing obligations.
  • Information you have shared with others (e.g., forum postings) may continue to be publicly visible on the BLANKOYNEGROENT Platform, even after your BLANKOYNEGROENT Account is canceled. However, the attribution of such information to you will be removed. Additionally, some copies of your information (e.g., log records) may remain in our database but are disassociated from personal identifiers.
  • Because we maintain the BLANKOYNEGROENT Platform to protect from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.

    6.6 WITHDRAWING CONSENT AND RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING.

    Where you have provided your consent to the processing of your personal information by BLANKOYNEGROENT you may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your Account settings or by sending a communication to bynent@icloud.com.com specifying which consent you are withdrawing. If you refrain from providing personal information or withdraw your consent to the processing, some features of our Service may not be available. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal. Additionally, in some jurisdictions, applicable law may give you the right to limit the ways in which we use your personal information, in particular, where (i) you contest the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information; (iii) we no longer need your personal information for the purposes of the processing, but you require the information for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to the processing pursuant to Section 6.7 and pending the verification, whether the legitimate grounds of BLANKOYNEGROENT override your own.

    6.7 OBJECTION TO PROCESSING.

    In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to require BLANKOYNEGROENT not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes (including profiling) where such processing is based on legitimate interest. If you object to such processing BLANKOYNEGROENT will no longer process your personal information for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or such processing is required for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

    Where your personal information is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may, at any time ask BLANKOYNEGROENT to cease processing your data for these direct marketing purposes by opting out from your account settings.

    To facilitate our global operations BLANKOYNEGROENT may transfer, store, and process your information within our family of companies or with service providers based in Europe, India, Asia Pacific, and North and South America, including but not limited to the United States. Laws in these countries may differ from the laws applicable to your Country of Residence. For example, information collected within the EEA may be transferred, stored, and processed outside of the EEA for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Where we transfer, store and process your personal information outside of the EEA we have ensured that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure an adequate level of data protection. Your Personal Information may be accessible to law enforcement or other authorities pursuant to a lawful request.

    If your information is shared with corporate affiliates or third-party service providers outside the EEA, we have – prior to sharing your information with such corporate affiliate or third-party service provider – established the necessary means to ensure an adequate level of data protection. This may be an adequate decision of the European Commission confirming an adequate level of data protection in the respective non-EEA country or an agreement on the basis of the E.U. Model Clauses (a set of clauses issued by the European Commission). For more information, please see our Information Security Policy by sending a request to bynent@icloud.com.
